Colorado Career Advising (CCA) is integrated into Colorado Education Initiative’s (CEI) Meaningful Career Conversation trainings. This tool is designed for advisors, career counselors, and mentors, facilitating career guidance for seekers of all ages across Colorado. Developed by Indigo Education Company in collaboration with the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and CEI, CCA is a groundbreaking platform transforming career guidance in the state. Tailored for advisors, students, and job seekers, our platform includes a quick 10-minute self-awareness DISC and Motivators assessment to identify strengths and preferences. Benefit from personalized career advice, real-time job listings from Zip Recruiter, resume enhancement tips, and effective communication strategies. It's an all-encompassing solution with goal-setting tools and a range of free resources, including educational videos and federal O*Net links.

The CCA Tool is designed for career-seekers of all ages across Colorado. This includes middle schoolers, high schoolers, apprentices, college students, adults pursuing reskilling or upskilling, individuals changing career paths, those re-entering the workforce, and anyone seeking living-wage opportunities. Moreover, career counselors, advisors, mentors, teachers, and family members can utilize the CCA Tool to facilitate career conversations with the mentioned individuals. No prior experience is necessary to begin guiding a career conversation today! While the Tool is freely accessible worldwide, our resources and labor market data are specifically tailored to benefit residents of Colorado.

The CCA Tool survey, results platform, downloadable books, and other resources are provided free of charge, thanks in large part to a grant award from the Colorado Department of Education. For organizations looking to utilize dashboards to track multiple advisees, there is an additional fee. A typical annual license with unlimited surveys is priced at $1500. For information on pricing for customized or branded dashboards, please reach out to info@coloradocareeradvising.com.
